More like 80s babies, since we were actually old enough to remember those first two things

Does "low engagement" mean "objectively not doing the job you are paying them to do"? Or does it mean "not going 'above and beyond,' aka not working unpaid overtime or doing things outside their job description"? Because only one of these warrants letting someone go.

This is such a bullshit take. I'm not even going to address why because you already know. Yes, I'm sure the place they're talking about with $1600/month rent is fucking Beverly Hills, you jackass. Lmfao

Of course the name of his show is "war room," jfc. All conservatives do is fantasize about violence.

temporary custody

Why is it next to impossible for people to get approved to adopt, but any asshole can become a foster parent? I think you need more in-depth screenings to adopt from pet rescues. If the US is going to force pregnancy on people, then they really need to get a handle on the foster system. Because it's always about "protecting the children," right?

the Heritage project leans into what legal scholars refer to as a unitary view of executive power that suggests the president has broad authority to act alone.

Did the fascists not just come for student loan forgiveness on the bullshit claim that Biden didn't have the executive power to do something like that?

Fuck these traitorous pieces of shit. If this shit doesn't stop we're about to be living in the fucking Pinochet regime (which was the brainchild of American conservatives, because of course it fucking was) and academics and musicians and authors are going to start getting disappeared along with our LGBTQ family, friends and neighbors. What a fucking shit show. And apparently there's not much we can do about it, except vote. As though that's ever done a fucking thing with an absolute anachronism of an electoral system.

I can't help the nihilism sometimes, jfc.

If cops want the bakery to "own" their policy, they they should own their policy of racial profiling

What happened to the supreme court cases that said it's ok to discriminate against protected classes as long as it just so happens to be "against your religion"

I fucking hate that they used the term "empty" land. The poll question posed to residents asked them if they would be more in favor if they knew it was "bad soil" that only contributed to 5% of CA agriculture, as though making money is all that land is good for.

Yes, Fairfield, CA is kind of a shit hole. But NorCal open land is absolutely beautiful, like all of California. Every single fucking time I go there, which is pretty frequently, there are new mcmansion housing developments and business parks and data centers that are starting to be built or have just finished. There are protected wetlands between Sacramento and the east bay (far east) where migratory birds come back every year. Just because they don't build on the fucking wetlands doesn't mean this constant building isn't going to affect what little nature is left. I'm so fucking sick of seeing my home paved over for profit and I feel so powerless to do anything. Because I am powerless.

As if that weren't enough, we all know this is going to be some walled-off rich-people city where they can escape from us proles, right? Sick shit.

So where are all of the conservative "if Biden actually wanted to cancel student loan debt he would just do it" people now

I guess I'm not understanding all the comments saying "why is anyone buying printers anymore? What do you need to print at home? Just buy a Brother or don't buy one at all."

Do you really need to understand why someone wants or needs a printer? Do people need to be explaining their purchases so we can all decide if they deserve to get scammed by HP or not? It doesn't matter why they bought it, whether it's a want or a need, whether it's the "right" brand, etc. They still don't deserve to get scammed out of their money by some bullshit company that can brick their device whenever they feel like. If you pay for something, it should belong to you. Period.

Aside from the subject of the article, when are we going to just stop with the "torched!" and "slammed!" and "destroys!" titles?? I hate them so much. Especially when someone "slams!" someone else. Like who the fuck came up with saying that.
